Part-Time Work Opportunities in Australia

In addition to education, part-time work is also of great interest to students in Australia. Australia opens opportunities and supports part-time work, allowing student visa holders to legally work up to 40 hours every two weeks. This makes Australia a popular country for those who want experiences beyond the classroom and to earn additional income as well. IDP has compiled a list of four jobs to take a look at:

Restaurant Jobs

There are numerous positions in restaurants, such as servers, kitchen hands, dishwashers, and cleaners. Servers need to be proficient in English because they will need to use both speaking and listening skills to take orders. Thai students tend to take part-time jobs at Thai restaurants as well as other restaurants or cafes.

Barista Jobs

Australians love drinking coffee, and there are many coffee shops. This is a great opportunity for those interested in the profession of barista. Although the main task is to brew coffee, skills in menu memorization and good interpersonal relations are necessary. After training, you will gain a valuable lifelong skill.

Massage Shop Jobs

There are many massage shops in Australia, especially in Sydney, offering various types of massages. Thai traditional massage shops are popular places where Thai people work. Importantly, even if you don't have prior experience, many massage shops are willing to teach.

Cleaning Jobs

Cleaning is a job that provides a good income. There are various types of cleaning jobs, including hotel cleaning, office cleaning, house cleaning, and restaurant cleaning. It's suitable for those who are energetic and work fast.
